Post shared by Journalist and Researcher, Malik Samuel:

8 soldiers were killed and 5 injured today when their convoy hit an IED most likely planted by ISWAP in Damasak, Borno State. From the crater and damage to the MRAP, it must have been a massive blast, especially since the soldiers killed were inside the MRAP, a mine-resistant vehicle designed to protect its occupants.

This is another sad reminder of the daily sacrifices our brave troops continue to make in this endless conflict. They pay the ultimate price so civilians can remain safe. Hopefully, their deaths are not in vain. There’s no question that the government needs to invest more in anti-mine equipment, as troops will face more of these threats as they ramp up pressure on both JAS and ISWAP.

Aftermath of the IED Explosion That Killed Nine Nigerian Soldiers in Borno.

At least nine Nigerian soldiers have been confirmed dead following an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by Boko Haram near Gubio in Borno State.
The soldiers were travelling from Maiduguri and had stopped at a military camp on Saturday, intending to continue their journey the next day. Report confirmed the blast was caused by planted explosives, not a gunmen ambush. Eight soldiers died on Sunday from injuries sustained in the explosion, with another succumbing on Monday morning.

The affected troops were attached to 145 Battalion, Damasak, under 5 Brigade of the Nigerian Army. Video footage from Sahara Reporters shows the aftermath, marking another deadly attack on military personnel in the North-East, where Boko Haram and ISWAP continue targeting troops with explosives along patrol routes.

The sudden increase in frequency and brutality of terror attacks in Nigeria is no coincidence. The terrorists HOPE to discourage the USA from assisting Nigeria militarily, but, the effect of this strategy will be the opposite of what is anticipated by the terrorists, because MORE missile strikes are likely, and with greater frequency.

Go and get IED detection device from Israel. Humble yourselves Nigeria and do away with this sympathy you have for terrorism. Go and ask Israel for help before it is too late

And our politicians are busy swapping parties and thinking of next election....

Someone who foresaw the emergence of these atrocities and warned us about it, is held and locked up in prison WHILE someone who has shown over the years to romance and bed them , is seen gallivanting and given 5star treatment ......We aren't serious yet as a country to combat these guys.

Na God know why some kain person's like me no join the military....by now, that national assembly for don dey shut down!!

Since the military appear over whelmed, why not seek for foreign assistance....Well if u talk, morxxxns would say you are politicising things and belittling the country...

This is not a war that can be won

It's the simple truth, almajiri recruits are more than what army recruits

Guerilla warfare in their terrain suits them than the imported army

Then their is the better motivation on terrorist side from religion, funding, territorial show off, etc

Porous boarders, complicit natives

Even America can't solve this with strikes, Taliban is an example

The Nigeria military has been highly infiltrated, there's urgency need for investigation to avoid future loss of life.

That is a ten-foot deep crater cause by a massively powerful explosive that is likely an anti-tank mine. This is major battlefield ordnance.
